Going Home…For a While

Actually, I go home today for one or two weeks, and this is very good news. (I am so looking forward to a soak in the tub.)

The not so good news is that I have not yet gotten rid of all the leukemia cells and will need to return to the hospital for an third round of chemo, and another hospital stay. After that, if all goes well, I will receive a bone marrow transplant from my sister Nancy (who it seems is is a perfect match).

I have decided that I may take a break from my blog just as I am taking a break from the hospital. How often I write will depend on how I feel when I am home and if I have anything significant (or funny) to report. Those of you who signed up to FOLLOW my blog may still be hearing from me…we shall see. Tomorrow, as they say,is another day, and I choose to leave my options open.

In the meantime, thank you for reading my words. Knowing you are out there has meant so very, very much to me as I have stumbled through the past five and a half weeks.

To my city friends…yes, you may drop by for a visit. (as long as you are not ill). I may even offer you a cup fo tea.

I plan will stick pretty close to home and when I go out I think I will wear a mask. However, a nice Fall walk on the streets of my beloved Upper West Side or into Central Park, in the company of an old friend, would be a great joy.

from Denver, I’ll have to take our walk in absentia, but I have been walking here & thinking of you. Snow today, but sunny tomorrow. I’ll definitely drink that cup of tea thinking of you.
Glad to learn of your going home.
Love, Susan

Oh, good you get to go home! A walk in the park sounds very good, the leaves must be just about to change, or lets see, 4th week of October, changing now! The weather must be getting a little crisp too so a cup of tea/cocoa will be a little more perfection.
The weather here is 70s and low 80s making me miss (for just a moment) fall days where you might spend an hour or two raking leaves. I guess you don’t need to rake leaves in the city and for all the time you’ve lived in your apartment that may be a pleasure you’ve never had. There is something wonderful about it being too chilly to stand still enjoying the sun but then too warm to keep your jacket on after raking a while.
I wish I could take that walk with you, perhaps I can call you while I walk here.
Take it easy, don’t try to do too much, feel good, think healthy.

GLad you get to go home and enjoy the UWS for a while before it get’s really cold outside. Now I can see the paint job, I missed by not attending book group at you home. I’m sure your family will be happy to have you around. See ya!
